I have yet to find a Spector that isn’t top notch build and finish quality, and I really like the look of that raised grain. So what preamp are they using in these?

EMG BTS preamp is stock.

This one had a really interesting grain pattern on it.

Spector Euro X Limited Edition Bass, Rosewood, Satin Black Cherry

There are people that complain that the quality under Korg is not what you should expect from a Spector, but I haven't found anything that I would consider sloppy or poor craftsmanship in any way.

That one has a fantastic grain! Very tempting.
I need to get rid of some stuff in my bass room that I’m not using anymore before I bring anything else new in, I’m outta room. If anyone wants a steal of a deal on a Mint SVT-VR or an equally mint Bergantino NV610 PM me.

Wednesday news .
I've been discussing for a while with a luthier (he lives in the middle of the Amazon rainforest) the assembly of a bass, replicating Precision 1951 model; today I chose tone of the color I want :cool:

the Amazon rainforest is where Jeff Bezos gets trees to make boxes right?

Close to Burgundy Mist Metallic and/or Heather Mist Poly - good choice

That should look fantastic.
A new version of old greatness is a good thing.

That's one of those songs that will be forever great.

For years, I just couldn't remember the name. The funny part is, I'd try to talk t someone about it, and they'd ask the name of it, and I'd just sing the recurrent riff, and they'd join in ... and that's all the name they had for the song, too. Either that, the opening lyric, or "I Know What You're Doing". Hysterical.

science is knowledge though, so your distinction is moot.

mid-14c., "state or fact of knowing; what is known, knowledge (of something) acquired by study; information;" also "assurance of knowledge, certitude, certainty," from Old French science "knowledge, learning, application; corpus of human knowledge" (12c.), from Latin scientia "knowledge, a knowing; expertness," from sciens (genitive scientis) "intelligent, skilled," present participle of scire "to know."

Sweet fenderbird and clever headstock. That dog house looks pretty sweet too, we have a few upright players here (not me, not that much talent these hands). Welcome to the club! Connect frequent, this is a fairly fast moving thread, and we love pics of everything Tbird related (and even a bit not related as well). I hope you like watermelon.
